The Strawberry Moon is full at 3:44am this morning here in Vermont. I expect most of us will miss that moment of fullness, though I have been having insomniac nights lately. Too much to do. I have those lists of things that did not get done plaguing the predawn hours. Still, there isn't much to… Continue reading The Daily: 11 June 2025
The Daily for 23 May 2024: The Full Flower Moon and the Matter of Britain...

There were apple blossoms and sometimes roses, but not much else… Continue reading The Daily: 7 May 2024
